Got a fab spot by the river this weekend. Bliss.
Lots of dead fallen wood. Pulled a load of fishing wire out of some hedge too and have disposed of it. Hopefully saved something from a nasty accident nesting. Sad that wild campers get a bad name when I think day most are tidy and respectful. I see so much s
t left from day trippers it’s sickening.

Portable fire pit. Brilliant for off ground fires. Folds up into small lightweight bag. Leaves absolutely no trace. Great buy at £15.

Saw one of those on YouTube just a few days ago! Look really good!
I went out hammock camping for 2 nights. Spent Saturday on a hike with friends with BBQ and beers in the middle of the hike up in the hills.
72km cycled, 14km walked.

We are trying our first night of wild camping this weekend. Plan is to go for a beachy bit/island on Loch Ken that only we can get to using the kayaks.
Son and me are looking forward to it. My Mrs, isn't so sure
Good luck, don’t forget to update us & include some pics Son and me are looking forward to it. My Mrs, isn't so sure
Learnt a fair few things such as if you don't want a cold soggy bottom for 9 hours, jam in the bungs for the under seat drainage ports as tight as they will go.
But overall pleased with how most of the kit performed. Drysacs kept everything nice and dry. Basic cooking stuff worked great.
I was especially worried about how warm the sleeping bags would be, but no issue and it was down to around 3deg and we all slept fine. TBH I think the fresh air knocked me for six as bit of food, few glasses of wine and I was in my bed for 9.
I'm not afraid to admit I like camping in nice weather, when it's cold or raining it's bloody miserable. But we will pick and choose our nights to ensure we get the most out of our time away. Looking forward to doing it again soon

I've seen a few wild campers use them, and they seem good. We’ve just spent ten days without electricity, plumbing, toilet/shower facilities, heating etc. Not ‘exactly’ wild as we had an old caravan next to the river - but none of the usual luxuries associated with (gas bottle, hook up, shower/toilet, water tank, hob and oven etc all decommissioned) . It’s been utter heaven! Waking up to sunrises and falling to sleep at sunset. BBQ every night, peeing on the nettles, burning our waste and being savaged by horseflies.
